Inserting your hearing instrument with an earmold
Inserting your earmold correctly, takes practice,
patience and perseverance. If you are having difficulty
inserting your earmolds, please consult your hearing
care professional.
Insert your earmold first, then position the hearing ins-
trument over your ear.
• Grasptheearmoldtubing
between your thumb and
index finger. The thumb
should be just behind the
tubing where it enters the earmold.
The top part of the earmold needs
to be pointing straight up. The canal
part of the earmold should be pointing
towards the ear canal entrance.
• Ifyouhavedifficultyinsertingthe
earmold, pull the ear lobe down with
the other hand, or pull the top of the
ear back and up.

•
Lift the earmold up to your ear.
Push the canal part
of the earmold into the ear canal opening twisting
slightly to ease the helix portion into position. The
helix part should be pointing straight up and should
slip into position.
• Ifyourearisbecomingsorefromtryingtoinsert
the earmold, spread a small amount of Vaseline
around the outer edges of the earmold to help it
slip into position easily. Be careful not to get any
Vaseline into the sound outlet.
If your ear remains
sore please
consult your hearing care professional.
Look in a mirror. If the helix part of the earmold is
visible, it is not inserted correctly.
Run your index finger down the skin just in front of
your ear. If you can touch the helix part of the earmold,
it is not inserted correctly. Use your index finger to
push the helix part of your earmold back behind the
flap of skin. It may help to gently pull this flap of skin
forward with the other hand at the same time.

Inserting your hearing instrument with a SPIRA flex
Sound Tube
Inserting your SPIRA flex Sound Tube correctly every
time, takes practice, patience and
perseverance.
• Lift the hearing instrument up
and position it behind your ear.
• Grasp the bend of the tube
between your thumb and index
finger. The dome should be
pointing towards the ear-canal
opening. Gently push the dome
into your ear-canal until the
sound tube sits flush against
the side of your head.
• Position the concha clip into
the indentation above your ear
lobe using your index finger.
Look in a mirror. If the sound tube is
sticking out from your ear, the dome
has not been placed correctly in the
ear canal. If the concha clip is visibly sticking out
from your ear, it has not been positioned correctly.
